A month(ish) off: What to Do?

First and foremost, take care of yourself and help take care of your families while you're out. Wash those hands. I can't wait to get back to normalcy and see you all again--but until then, here's some stuff:

It will be impossible for us to cover everything as originally planned for the AP exams. As information about exams is released I will, of course, keep you posted. The only thing I DO know is that we will not be able to recoup all the time we lose, so if you want to do well on this exam (and I reallllly hope you do), then you HAVE to use some of this time off to review the "old stuff" and start to try to teach yourself some new stuff.

Best Ways to Use This Time for AP Stat:

A. Do your Take Home Test: Due the day we're back (see below)

• Print this or just do/show all work/answers on separate paper
• Be sure to #each question if using separate paper
• By doing this as a take home it will allow us to start a new chapter when return, and to some degree, "start fresh," rather than having to finish up anything from chapters 19-21.
• See the review below (#4) if you want to do some practice/review before the take home test:
• Coronavirus "Break"--Take Home Test (Click Me!)

B. Start reviewing for the AP exam so we can just focus on "new stuff" when we're back

• Re-organize or even create an outline of your notes!
• Do a practice test! (some are linked on the right)
• Do the 2019 AP Free Response Questions (Click Me!)
• Then, score your answers with the 2019 FR Scoring Guidelines (Click Me!)
• Now try the 2018 Free Response Questions (Click Me!)
• Then, score your answers with the 2018 Scoring Rubric (Click Me!)

Other things to do while you're out:

1.) Makeup Work! Get it done!

• You can show me any/all missing homework assignments about confidence intervals and/or hypothesis testing for full credit as long as you have it the day we return (tentatively 3/27).

2.) I will not "formally" check this homework (originally due tomorrow--Friday, 3/13), but here it is and here's the key for some practice. Or, just use the answer key as a resource to help with your take home test.

• Types of Error HW (Click Me!)
• Types of Error HW (Key)

3.) Want to do some more review of one prop z tests and one prop z intervals? Here you go! It might be a good idea to do this before the take home test above--this was scheduled to be our homework the weekend before our test on confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for one proportion. You can do this assignment as extra credit homework.

• Need some more review? These AP Stat Guy videos (link on top right) review what's on our test:
• Unit 5 Videos: #6 through #13

4.) Want to get ahead? Here's what we need to learn when we return:

• 4/5 days will be learning about 2 proportion z tests and 2 proportion z intervals (for differences in proportions)--this is chapter 22 in our textbook
• Then, our next unit will be about hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for means (chapters 23-25):
• What is the t distribution? How do we find critical values for the t distribution? What are degrees of freedom?
• T Intervals (for one sample with means)
• T Tests (for one sample with means)
• 2 Sample T Intervals (2 samples, means)--for differences in means
• 2 Sample T Tests (for differences in means)
• Paired T Tests
• After that it's on to Chi Squared Tests (chapter 26)
• What is the chi squared distribution? Define characteristics
• Chi Squared Tests for Independence: how do we write hypotheses, check conditions, do the math, (conclusion is the same deal)
• If time permits: chi squared tests for goodness of fit
• Last chapter (chapter 27): T Tests and T Intervals for Slope
• This also allows us to review linear regression
• How can I try to teach myself some of this stuff?
• Read the textbook
• Use Khan Academy--they have an AP Stat course! Enter the code above
• Google/youtube videos
• (I recommend Khan)
